You definitely want Steve on your side

Steve is busy - no doubt, and sometimes it was scary to go through this process (being charged with a felony 2 possession) and looking at 2-20. I sometimes wanted communication about the process and what-not and Steve is busy working on his other clients. (and from what I see, when I say working I ...mean WORKING) That's when I told a friend of mine about this communication thing and he said "good - you hired the perfect attorney". When it comes time for him to focus on you - he'll nail it. And so, wait I did, the system is slow and frustrating. Finally though, I was offered a decrease plea bargain to a misdemeanor A with 2 years probation. I took it. I'm now on mail-in probation and life is soooo much less stressful. I truly hope (and plan) on never having to deal with court case again, but if I do, I'd hire Steve and his whole amazing team again without question.

Brazoria Superstar DWI Attorney

March 2016 was a bad month for me when I ended up in Brazoria County Jail for DWI 2nd. I knew that for this unfortunate situation I would need the best attorney in Brazoria County. That person ended up being Steve. I interviewed multiple top rank attorneys and had them narrowed to Steve Gonzalez and ...Mark Thiessen. My cousin, a local assistant da actually recommended that I hire Steve. I now clearly know why! I ended up hiring both of them but Steve handled my case entirely. 13 months later Steve negotiated a reduction to Reckless Driving with 1 year probation. I thought about it for two minutes weighing out options because my case had a good shot for dismissal in trial. A reduction for DWI 2nd is rare and exactly what I was hoping for and I got It, thx to Steve! Without a doubt hire Steve Gonzalez and his wonderful staff. He is the best DWI attorney in Brazoria County Period!

The best of the best.

Steve Gonzalez is literally the best attorney in Brazoria county. Steve represented me in several criminal offense cases that had me faced with prison time. Steve is highly professional and has an equally professional legal team. His legal expertise and compassion saved me from a prison sentence, and... succeeded in case dismissals and reduction of offenses. Moreover, Steve's compelling negotiating skills succeeded in securing a probated sentence which previously was not on the negotiating table. My family and I are blessed and thankful for Steve Gonzalez.

DWI

Attorney Steve Gonzalez did an amazing job with my case I was arrested for DWI and my case was dismissed. Having a job that requires to have a license and no DWI on your record is a big thing. He has an amazing staff amd they are very helpful I recommend you guys hire him.

Revocation of felond 2nd DUI

Steve was able to get me a bond on a felony probation revocation which is unusual or damn near impossible. I later signed for two years in drug court versus state jail. At times, I was upset because lack of verbal communication or availability on answering some of my concerns. Steve is well known a...nd well versed in the game of Texas Law. We all know justice isn't fair nor blind, therefore you get what you pay for. My particular county is small and in my opinion has a good old boy mentality. Steve is very good salesman in addition to good attorney. Which is required for a positive outcome.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Gonzalez is a friend of mine who is also a brilliant, tenacious, fearless defense attorney and trial lawyer. He knows how to try difficult cases and win. He believes in his client and advocates for them like a pitbull, but does so with intelligence, class, eloquence, skill and an unteachable way of relating to juries. Some of the skills he have can't be taught. He's in a truly special class of elite defense attorneys and I wholeheartedly recommend him."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Steve Gonzalez is one of the most talented and tenacious trial attorneys that I have had the pleasure to work with. Two years ago, I had a 20 year old client from Bangladesh who was facing two felony charges in Brazoria Co. and certain deportation if convicted. Three months worth of negotiating with the prosecutor got me nowhere. In fact, the prosecutor wouldn't even talk to me, much less entertain a reduction, which was all we needed. So, I spoke to Steve about the case to get his advice on how to deal with this particular prosecutor. Without hesitation, Steve got involved and went to work. A week before the trial, Steve called me with the great news. The prosecutor agreed to dismiss both charges. Steve's work on this case saved a family from being ripped apart. I will always be grateful to Steve for his work on that case and I know the family will always be thankful for every day they get to spend with their son."
